Abstract
Canada has a history of accepting thousands of refugees each year, so refugee students arrive in Canadian schools regularly. These students often arrive with several unique challenges due to pre- and post-migration experiences, which cause struggles for students, teachers, and principals. Thus, this capstone study aims to determine how best to support refugee students in Canadian schools by answering questions concerning the challenges refugee students face, how principals can create a shared vision to support refugee students, and how principals can lead collective efficacy among teachers of refugee students. It first provides background and introductory information about refugees in Canada and describes the purpose of the study before moving on to the research questions and scope and sequence of the study. The capstone study then presents a thorough literature review that details the struggles that refugee students face in Canadian schools and describes aspects of creating a shared vision and strategies for implementing it. The findings show that principals can affect teacher collective efficacy in developing a shared vision to help refugee students succeed. Finally, the study indicates implications and recommendations for supporting the academic and social success of refugee students in Canadian schools.
